Physical vapour deposition (PVD) technology is enjoying an ever-expand
ing range of applications. New materials are being developed. Process
technology is being better understood. The HTC 625 Multilab PVD coater
goes a long way toward meeting the needs that arise out of these deve
lopments. Universal cathodes, Steered Arc(TM)-unbalanced-magnetron cap
ability, ABS(TM) technology and high frequency bias are standard featu
res. Today this unit can produce coatings from materials such as TiN,
TiCN, ZrN, TiAlN, TiZrN, TiNbN and hydrogenated amorphous carbon.
